Conventional wood/coal burning smoker thread

love smoking meats- keep it pg please

Pics of my little hot boxes of happiness coming soon (still being lazy with my morning coffee at the moment)

I try to grill and smoke at least once a week. Everything from Boston butts, brisket, and lamb to fish and cheeses.. the fun never stops and aside from the awesome eats is the fun of experimenting with making new stuff
Post up your smoker/food pics here

 

Saved for later today- smoking a rib roast for a break from the gobble gobble

 

I used to have a traeger- made some great food on that thing
I slowly converted over to an upright metal/storebought smoker.
Currently I have the old metal pig, a mini green egg, and a ceramic chargriller that I love

 

I have a Char Broil propane smoker. I smoked two turkey breasts yesterday for T-Giving. They came out incredible (according to my relatives, and myself haha).

12 hour brine of water, salt, peppercorns, maple syrup, brown sugar and bourbon.
put melted butter all over them, then the spice rub was garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, chiptole chili powder, cumin, salt, pepper, brown sugar.
4 hours with apple wood chips.

I forgot to take a pic but i may be able to snap one when i get home, since we only went through the one breast.

I had planned to smoke a lot more stuff over the summer, but it rained so god damn much where i live that it made it practically impossible. I may fashion an outdoor umbrella situation over the winter time and see how i can rig that up haha.

 

Dinner

 

Gotta 15.17 lb brisket on the cooker this morning.. I’m about 5 hours in so far

 

At 7.5 hours in.. pic taken just before wrapping tightly in foil to finish off. Should be ready to come off the smoker and go into a cooler for a couple hours rest by 6-7 this evening
